Tavern

Funk, soul and record selections define the sound. The records and DJ selections change from night to night.

Dark green, brass and velvet details create a dimly lit setting. The small room feels crowded in the evening.

A compact listening bar bringing cocktails together with a hi fi system, vinyl selections and occasional DJ sets.

Music enthusiasts, cocktail loving couples and small groups.

Neat everyday clothes suit Cihangir's relaxed bar scene; there is no specific dress requirement.

Located in Beyoğlu, Tavern is popular for its unique cocktails, creative snacks, and lively street atmosphere. Food items—particularly the kokoreç (grilled lamb intestines)—often stand out even more than the drinks in reviews, and the staff are generally polite and helpful. While the venue offers a relaxed setting for conversation during early weekday hours, it becomes very crowded on weekends, and standing for long periods can be tiring. The small portion sizes of cocktails and food relative to their price are frequent points of criticism; limited menu options and the occasional unavailability of certain items can also restrict choices. One instance of an incorrect drink being added to the bill was reported. It is a great spot for those seeking an energetic vibe, though those looking for a comfortable place to sit for a long time might want to manage their expectations.
